League Alerts Fam,

Welcome to the first edition of The Shot Clock Reset presented by LeagueAlerts! Every week, we reset your week as we reset the shot clock to 14. Scroll below as we curate the 14 most important stories from the NBA and basketball culture—packed into one quick email. Let’s get started:

THE BIGGEST STORIES OF THE WEEK:

1) Ja Morant will miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum, the Grizzlies announced on Monday evening on social media.

2) Kawhi Leonard has signed a contract extension with the Los Angeles Clippers, the team announced Wednesday, removing one of the biggest names from the 2024 free-agent market.

3) LeBron James has signed a multiyear trading card deal with Fanatics, the company announced Wednesday, ending a 20-year run between rival trading card firm Upper Deck and the NBA star, whose memorabilia has routinely auctioned for millions of dollars in recent years.

4) Erik Spoelstra recently signed a record-breaking eight-year contract extension with the Miami Heat, worth around $120 million. This extension is the largest in NBA history for a coach, making Spoelstra one of the highest-paid and most respected coaches in the league.

5) In an emotional conversation around the time of his indefinite league suspension, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green suggested that NBA commissioner Adam Silver talked him out of retirement, according to a new episode of "The Draymond Green Show."

6) Domantas Sabonis was among five NBA players who will star in a new NBA documentary series on Netflix, which released a similar show "Quarterback" last July. Along with the Sacramento Kings forward, the series will highlight superstars LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum and Anthony Edwards. The yet-to-be-named series is produced by several groups, including The SpringHill Company founded by James and his agent Maverick Carter, Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions and Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions.

7) To open a spot for Williams on the 15-man roster, Memphis will waive veteran center Bismack Biyombo, according to Woj, who notes that Biyombo has been impressive in his time with the Grizzlies and could return to the team later in the season if he clears waivers. Wojnarowski hears that Memphis will look for another big man to fill its open two-way slot.
